  1. Blasphemous May a pox afflict the Adams family in perpetuity. When entering "Oilers" in the GIF search, we get a bunch of damn hockey clips. Fuck you, Bud.
  2. Everybody talks about Bowie, Travis and Crockett but, to my way of thinking, James Butler Bonham was the most heroic. Bonham, who was boyhood friends with Travis in South Carolina (and whose whole reason for even being in Texas in the first place was because Travis had written him a letter the previous year that described a world of opportunity in Texas for enterprising young men like themselves ), was sent by Travis to obtain aid for the garrison at Bexar on about February 16, 1836. He visited Goliad, but the commander of the forces there, James Fannin, was unable to provide assistance. Bonham's spirit is best described by T.R. Fehrenbach in his Texas opus, Lone Star: A History of Texas and the Texans: "At the end, the weary Bonham, a lawyer, a Carolinian of exulted family and a friend of Travis, turned his mount around and rode back toward San Antonio. He was told it was useless to throw away his life. He answered back that Buck Travis deserved to know the answer to his appeals, spat upon the ground, and galloped west into his own immortality." Thus, Bonham returned to the Alamo on March 3, riding through a hail of Mexican bullets to do it. Imagine being him as he approached the Alamo. He could certainly see the huge Mexican Army and must have known that he faced death either trying to get back inside or in the battle that would certainly follow. He could have turned his horse around, gone back to Goliad or Gonzales, and nobody would have ever known. James Butler Bonham died in the battle of the Alamo on March 6, 1836, aged 29. He is believed to have died manning one of the cannons.
  3. You, sir, have no appreciation for the prestigious and coveted Bonham Trophy.
  4. Why errbody sleepin' on Charlie Wright? You can't keep an Austin Maroon down!
  5. Plus, he no longer looks like a dirty, hippie vagrant. Hobo? It goes without saying that we're in deep shit if Arch has to take a significant number of snaps this year, right?
  6. Who is a "cultural fit" for the PAC now besides SDSU? Academic fit with aggie-like, Wazzu and OSU? Too funny
  7. Yeah, I've read Sankey and SEC leadership want contiguous states for whatever reason. UNC and UVA are in their crosshairs. SEC SEC SEC
  8. Maybe USC/UCLA has a "gentlemen's agreement" with the B1G to not add any more PAC teams short-term, if ever? 😜
  9. Whatever New PAC will still be a shit salad no matter who's left in it.
  10. No I suspect all 4 will take a cut-rate offer from the B1G, if offered. WSU and OSU will be MWC bound soon.
  11. Making less than Purdue, Northwestern, and Rutgers is a slap in the face, but it's still better than going down with the ship. Desperate times
  12. Better to be affiliated with a league and region where the top recruits play and college football really matters to people. CA has talent, but they're not nearly as passionate about CFB. Too many recreational options? Or maybe west-coasters just don't GAF unless their team is top-tier.
  13. Yeah, $40 MM vs what is rumored to be $25 MM. UW and UO had better take that deal. No-brainer, short term.
  14. Now apply your attendance metric to Memphis. What was their average gate in 2022?
  15. Rice? You must be older than the hills. Or you got your post-grad at the institute.
  16. Why the fuck would Sankey bend to aggy if he had a unanimous - 1 vote to add UT and OU?
  17. Looks good to me. I enjoy Carolina 'cue, too, if it's not smothered in their crappy vinegar sauce.
  18. Biggest mistake the Big 12 ever made was not preserving this rivalry game every year. Of course, I'm sure these bluebloods "didn't want to play a rematch" in the Big 12 Championship, either. Oops...
  19. Provo Come for BYU football, but stay for the luau. Aloha
  20. OU wanted additional games in TX for recruiting, DFW in particular, plain and simple.
  21. Meh I remember reading about how UT had "a Baylor and a Tech problem" bc the PAC was reluctant to take either.
